US leader's comments on his own grooming
On 16 October, while addressing supporters in the state of Georgia, US President Donald Trump answered a question about his appearance. He admitted that he personally uses cosmetics and explained his motivation.
«Я використовую дуже мало макіяжу й роблю це сам. Якщо не нанести трохи косметики, маєш вигляд мерця. Я не хочу так виглядати» (I use very little makeup and I do it myself. If you don't put on a little bit of cosmetics, you look like a corpse. I don't want to look like that), the American leader noted.
Focus on health condition and age
The topic of the 80-year-old Trump's appearance and physical condition often becomes a subject of discussion in society. He remains the oldest person in the history of the United States to hold the office of president.
White House representatives assure that the head of state feels well. However, observers periodically note bruises, spots, and bandages on his hands.
Causes of bruises and medication intake
In January 2026, during his participation in the World Economic Forum in Davos, journalists noticed a large bruise on the president's left arm. White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt explained that this happened because Trump hit his hand on the corner of a table during one of the events.
The official spokesperson also reminded that the president is prone to forming haematomas due to daily aspirin intake. Previously, Trump revealed that he takes 325 milligrams of this medication daily. According to him, doctors recommended reviewing the dosage, but he refuses to change the regimen he has followed for over 25 years.
History of observations and diagnoses
Bruises on the hands of the American president began attracting attention as early as February 2025. At that time, the White House explained their appearance by frequent handshakes. Trump himself admitted that he used cosmetics to reduce the visibility of dark spots.
In addition, the US head of state was diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, which can cause leg swelling. Despite this, Donald Trump assures that his well-being is stable and good.
